Oh My Lady adds Park Han-byul
by javabeans
My interest in the upcoming trendy drama Oh My Lady dims a little with this latest news: Park Han-byul has been added to the cast along with Chae Rim and Choi Siwon. The romantic-comedy plot is about an ordinary ajumma (Chae Rim) who becomes the manager to a top star (Choi).
Park’s character Yura was Min-woo’s (Choi Siwon) first love back in their university years. She reappears in his life after returning from studying abroad, now a marketing director of a fashion brand, and has a big part in making Min-woo a star by making him the fashion brand’s model and providing him with sponsored clothing. Park was cast to portray the character’s chic, cosmopolitan appeal.
In other news, Chae Rim’s co-star from Dal Ja’s Spring, singer-actor Lee Hyun-woo, has also been cast. He will play the director of a musical production company who once wanted to be an actor, who turned instead to directing and then producing. His horrible temper emerges when performance time approaches, but he is skilled at his job.
I’ve only seen Park Han-byul (who may be more famous as “Se7en’s girlfriend” than as an actress) in one drama, Fantasy Couple, and really disliked her there. (Not enough sweetness to be sweet; not enough gusto to be a fun antagonist. Just meh.) That was three years ago and hopefully she’s improved, but despite those hopes I’m preparing myself for some more wooden performances from her and Lee Hyun-woo. I am looking forward to the chemistry between Chae Rim and Choi Siwon, which will hopefully carry the drama.
The new Monday-Tuesday SBS series held its first script reading on February 5. It follows Wish Upon a Star and airs in March.

Ugh I hated her in Fantasy Couple. And she's pretty much sounds like she's gonna be playing the same type of character like in Fantasy Couple. Ugh...
On the other hand I liked Lee Hyun Woo in Dal Ja's Spring. So I'm still pretty interested about this drama. I can't wait to see how Choi Si Won and Chae Rim are together.

Chae Rim and her talent alone is enough for me to look forward to this drama. With CSW, of course, a delight to see!
However, when I saw the girl PHB, I haven't really seen her in anything. I only know her as Se7n's gf which I don't really care about. Its just that, that's how I got to know her. But after seeing her, I dunno why I feel like I don't like her anymore. LOL. Upon seeing her, I uttered to myself, oh she's the bitch. LOL.
LHW, I don't really like his wooden acting, but his role in DJS really suited him. So let's see.

PHB is really pretty but her acting is nothing amusing. That's probably why she always get 2nd lead.
The two 2nd leads sucks man. Why couldn't they cast better actors!. I hope CR and CSW can carry this drama. It's all up to them now. hahahah

She is in everybody cha cha cha and based upon prior comments, her acting has not improved much since Fantasy Couple.

She was so-so in fantasy couple. Kinda boring... I couldn't like her, nor did I really hate her.
The only person I like out of this cast is Chae Rim. Si Won is okay... I'm not sure about his acting, really. I also can't seem to get used to how Chae Rim is getting roles being an ajumma... *sigh*. The point in one's career when they don't get the youthful, single women roles... but officially the roles of ajummas that have children :O

She played the most annoying character in Everybody Cha Cha Cha...wanted to strangle her on many occasions.
But definitely looking forward to seeing the ICOMYM Club's cabana boy, Choi Si Won. :D

Yes, my interest in this drama also dimmed because of PHB. I saw her in Fantasy Couple and did not understand what the fuss about her was all about. And then I saw Freeze with her and LSJ and I said: "Thank God that it was only a 5 episode series". And that I know it was not just me. It was just her acting...so wooden, no emotions, nothing. So hopefully this drama will change my opinion of her. If not, it would be the last drama I watch of hers.

My balloon for the drama got a little deflated after I read the headline. Hope Chae Rim and SiWon can carry the drama. Thank you ^.^

OMG, that was her in Freeze?! Totally annoying there, too. Ugh.
Please, please, please, let Chae Rim and Choi Si Won have great chemistry. :D

I watched her in Everybody Cha Cha and hated when she had screentime in there, so apparently (from the posts above she was not any good in her past shows too). But will watch this for Chaerim and Siwon. Let's hope she gets less screentime on this one.

Korea admittedly is a drama factory and a good one at that . The Korean entertainment industry has produced good actors -adults and children of both gender . They have also provided the best OST as far as Asia is concerned . Although the themes of their dramas are by now predictable -the genre is expanding and execution is improving . And they have the BUDGET to produce believable sets and to have location shootings,too . However ,there is that flaw of having repetitive cycles of crisis after crisis tackled in drama (sometimes 10 episodes are no longer necessary), and then rushing at the end to resolve them -this can be cured by a tighter story and scriptwriting . Another flaw that can easily be corrected is the title given to the drama -sometimes they are too simplistic, has no relation to the story , or too similar to another drama . Take Oh My lady for instance ,isn't it similar to a drama starred in by Lee Dahae some years back ? Maybe it will be more fitting if the title is Oh My Adjumma -since the focus is really on Chae Rim being an adjumma and how she managed her situation in life while getting entangled with the life of others specially of course with that of character of Choi Siwon .

I watched her in Fantasy Couple and wasn't impressed. Now as I'm watching Oh My Lady. . . she seems to be playing the exact same character just richer. Sigh.
